Sign language?

[Taz_Zoee]

I've always loved sign language since I was a child. I had books that taught me the alphabet. Then when I was in high school my SIL and I took a college sign language course. Only I had to drop out of it because the mid-term was while I would be away at cheerleading camp and the teacher would NOT work with me on it.
Then I had a visitor over 5 years ago that was deaf so I picked up on some signs while she was here. I would love to take classes on it again.
I think you can teach yourself the basics. However, it is best to be around people that use it regularly so you can absorb it from them. Like someone said, look online, there might be some kind of meeting group or something you could join.

I would be neat if everyone knew it, provided it was the same all over the world.

A friend of mine is blind, he gave me the tools for writing Braille and I have done it several times. Reading it is another matter.

The Morse code is also interesting, I know most of the letters and numbers. Can anyone tell what this says?

Before I retired, I managed a small print shop and had two deaf employees. At first I could fingerspell but didn't know many signs. One of the employees knew general printing equipment, but not our specific press. He did learn the press, even with me fingerspelling. With classes, I did learn signs which made it much easier and quicker. We even made up our own signs to describe specific tasks. No one signs where I live now.
